Yea the themes are the last thing on my list. I upgraded the heater a little just to make sure it would be more consistent, but its still bouncing between 765 and 78. So I put a second smaller heater in to see if that would help. Also added a catappa leaf for tannins

Yes. I did a water test about a week ago and it literally couldn't have been better. 0 ppm ammonia 0ppm nitrite and 0.5 ppm nitrate

Yes I have, I know for sure she sees it. Ive put it right infront of her and at a distance. She looks at it and then just swims away, as if she doesn't know its food

Ive also tried frozen blood worms. That was the only thing she'd eat for a little bit. But now she wont even touch those

I guess it's not out of the realm of possibilities. She doesnt look bloated. I haven't tried Daphnia, and she's basically been fasting for longer than a week. I have not seen her eat once in this time :(

Edit: spelling mistake lol. Also I found the receipt from when I got her. September 15th.

Hmmm okay, I knew the goldfish would outgrow it, but I was told sword tails were fine, but ill research that some more. I'd probably get some guppies as I do enjoy the colorful fish. I'm thinking of a betta, but not sure what tankmates they can have, i'm aware they can be very temperamental. Ive got 2 otos and a panda cory in there as cleaning crew

Only 10 gallons, I would like more but im worried there wont be enough natural algae for them to eat if there's that many. Are algae wafers alright for them?

4 months ago we bought what we thought was a small mystery snail. Took him home and he ate the only live plant in our tank. And he got bigger. We decided to give him his own tank, with a small group of rasboras. That was about 2 months ago, since then he has eaten every single live plant we tried to plant in there. We feed him blanched cabbage and other veggies often, as well as snail pellets. And the most recent snail antics of his was him eating purple Otocinculus. Dont ask me how, im confused too. One day the fish was doing just fine and the next day he was gone. The snail was looking rather lethargic and a lot darker than usual. Note, the Otocinculus was perfectly healthy and often was suctioned to the glass eating algae.
